I love the look of this sweater. Quality-wise, who knows? But I'm hopeful. A thick, white knit is one of my favorite transition pieces. I'll wear it with shorts and sandals while the weather is still warm and then over jeans tucked into boots once fall really kicks in. The perforated sleeves and v-neck on this one are unique.

A textured, croc, structured satchel in a gorgeous fall hue under $100? Who knew? Firstly, the structure of the bag is amazing. The shape manages to be classic and modern at the same time. Second, the hunter green color is a perfect compliment to your fall color palette. And did I mention the price?

Statement earrings are the new statement necklace, I'm calling it now. I love that these are large, bejeweled, and ornate, while still managing to be understated. Add these for a date night look or a girls' night.

Summer ain't over yet! And I may have just bought these bad boys at this seriously discounted price. The simple shape of the sandal, coupled with the leopard print and gold band make for an easy summer shoe. I have high hopes for these sandals and plan to wear them until my toes freeze.
